Hi Jaewon,

Is there a way to display taskobjects or shapes on the control screen only? I only know of the ability to display text, not taskobjects/shapes.

After looking through the ML calibration files, I think I found the answer: mgladdcircle, mgladdbox, mgladdbitmap, etc. Specifying the device as '2' seems to only display them on the control screen, as desired. Please let me know if this is the most efficient way to do this, or if there is a better way to do it, when you have the time. Thanks a lot!

MonkeyLogic Graphics Library (MGL), as well as NIMH DAQ Toolbox, is the backbone of NIMH ML and certainly able to present graphic objects on only one screen or both, by changing the device (or screen) number. However, NIMH ML is hard-coded to use both screens, so there is no way to present "TaskObjects" on the control screen only. It is up to you to call MGL functions directly to add your own "shapes", but NIMH ML will not track/record those shapes.

See the following manual page for more information about MGL.

Great, that's all I needed, thanks Jaewon.

Followup question: is there a way to use MGL to create multiple shapes at once? For example, if I want to create a 9x5 grid of circles, do I need to call mgladdcircle 45 times and specify all 45 positions using mglsetorigin? Or can I shorten the code for that somehow?

Using a for loop did the trick. Thanks again!
